Migration Steps
Audit and export your current workspace
Before touching Jira, document what lives in Miro: projects and tasks, custom fields, automations, integrations, and team permissions. Export a full CSV backup — most tools support this from Settings → Export. Pay particular attention to any workflow automations that your team relies on daily.
Set up your Jira workspace
Create your Jira workspace and replicate your project structure using epics, stories, and sprints. Jira starts at $7.91/user/mo/user/mo with a free tier available — $0.08999999999999986/user/mo less than your current Miro spend. Run with a single pilot team before migrating everyone.
Map your workflow equivalents
Find the closest Jira equivalent for each Miro feature your team relies on. projects and tasks in Miro maps to epics, stories, and sprints in Jira. Jira supports custom fields — recreate your Miro field schema here first. Prioritise the critical path: task creation, status tracking, and assignment.
Import your data
Jira supports CSV import for tasks and projects and has 20+ native integrations. After importing, rebuild your key automations — Jira's automation engine can replicate most rules you had in Miro. Start with your most active project rather than importing everything at once.
Onboard your team
Run a 30-minute walkthrough covering the daily workflow: how to create epics, stories, and sprints, update status, and find your board. Jira has a steeper learning curve. Budget 2–3 weeks for full adoption and schedule follow-up sessions after week one.
Run Miro in parallel for two weeks
Keep Miro read-only while your team works primarily in Jira. This reduces risk and lets people reference historical context — old decisions, archived tickets, past sprint data — without slowing the migration. After two weeks with no new work going into Miro, archive the workspace and make Jira the official home.
